TIE-HOLDER.

Specification of Iie tters Patent i Pat e t ed 1919.

Applicationfiled February 16, 1916. Serial No.78,7 32. i

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, TOMASZ M. Kosmsm, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tie-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in tie holders and has for its object the provision of an improved tie holder in which an ordinary four-in-hand tie is arranged ready for wear and may be attached and detached Without untying the same.

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a front perspective view of a tie holder embodying my invention,

Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are perspective views illustrating successive mampulations in the tying of a tie on said tie holder and lllustrating the tie after it is tied,

Figs. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are similar perspective views of another method of making up or tying the tie.

The preferred form of construction as illustrated in the drawings consists of a member made from a single piece of wire bent centrally into a substantially heartshaped loop 15, the ends of said 100 being crossed at 16 to produce a spring e cot and extended thence downwardly and rebent upwardly to form a bend or recess 17 as indicated. A strip 18 is secured across the upper ends of said wire to form therewith a loop 19 adapted to permit the passage of the tie 20, said strip being made of any suitable material such as high grade cardboard, stiffened linen and the like, and is extended sufliciently to provide lateral wings 18 adapted to be inserted within the folds of a collar as illustrated in Fig. 14.

As illustrated in Figs. 2 to 6 inclusive an ordinary four-in-hand tie 20 is first passed through the loop 19 and given a fold or loop 21 which is laid over strip 18 against the corresponding end of the tie. Then the outer end of the tie is passed around and over the loop 21 thence to the rear and over the strip 18 to complete an ordinary fourin-hand tie as indicated in Figs. 4, 5 and 6.

' The'tie thus made mayhem-caddy placed in position by snapping the eye 15 over the front collar button and inserting the wings 18 within the folds of a collar as indicated in Fig. 14. This constitutes one method of arranglng a four-in-hand tie on the holder.

In Figs. 7 to 14 I have illustrated another method of arranging a four-in-hand tie on the holder. In this method the tie is first laid in the recesses 17 the portion 22 being passed around one of the wings 18 and a loop 23 being formed in the other end of the tie, said loop 23 being placed over the loop 22 and stri 18 to complete a portion of the tie as indlcated in Fig. 9. Then the other end of the tie is looped around the other wing 18 at 24 and passed around the front of the tie and formed into a loop 25 which is passed over the correspondin" wing 18 thus completin the tie as indicated in Figs. 11 and 12. Fig. 13 illustrates a reverse view of the tie and Fig. 14.- illustrates the same in position on a collar. With this arrangement an ordinary four-in-hand tie may be permanently made up or tied and may be readily attached or detached without untying the same.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred forms of construction for carrying my invention into effect, these are capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A tie holder comprising a piece of wire bent centrally into a substantially heartshaped loop, said wires being crossed at the lower end of said loop to give the same a spring effect, the wires extending thence downwardly and rebent on themselves and extended outwardly and upwardly to form a tie receiving recess between said downwardly and upwardly extending portions; and wings at the upper ends of said wires adapted to be inserted in the folds of a collar, substantially as described.

2. A tie holder comprising a piece of wire bent centrally into a substantially heartshaped loop, said wires being crossed'at the lower en do f said loop to to'be a sub- 10 7 spring effect, the wlres extending thence stantially as described.
